Avaldi

Avaldi is a fictional planet located in the fictional Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. It is primarily known for its vast, crystalline forests and the unique bioluminescent flora that illuminates the landscape during its extended twilight periods. The planet orbits a binary star system, resulting in complex and often unpredictable seasons.

The dominant indigenous species on Avaldi are the Silvan, a sentient race characterized by their slender forms and translucent skin, which allows for a degree of camouflage within the crystalline environment. The Silvan society is deeply integrated with the planet's ecosystem, relying on symbiotic relationships with various native organisms for sustenance and shelter. Their technology, while advanced, is organic and bio-integrated, eschewing traditional mechanical constructs.

Avaldi's atmosphere is breathable for many carbon-based lifeforms, though it contains trace elements that can be mildly psychoactive over prolonged exposure. The planet's geological makeup is rich in rare minerals and energy-producing crystals, which have made it a point of interest for off-world exploration and resource acquisition. However, the Silvan's protective nature and the planet's challenging environmental conditions have limited extensive external colonization efforts. Scientific expeditions have been the primary form of contact, focusing on studying Avaldi's unique biodiversity and the Silvan's harmonious way of life.
